Dear All,
I would firstly like to say a belated Happy New Year to you all, I hope that 2009 is full of prosperity and enjoyment.
I would also like to congratulate Mapleton resident Valerie Zwart who is the first recipient of Sunshine Coast Council’s Australia Day Community Award. Valerie has contributed in no small way to the Mapleton community and I sincerely congratulate her efforts. If you would like more information on this year’s winners, visit www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au
Kelli and I had a fantastic time at the Mapleton Lilyponds on Australia Day. We enjoyed meeting, and sharing a simple BBQ with, the residents who turned up to enjoy the day. It is great to be able to use the ponds for such functions and it was a fun game of cricket had by all. A note of congratulations to Eve and her sister Gaye for the starting of their new home in Warruga St, well done!!
